Nominated for an Olivier award in 1997 the play is guaranteed to make you laugh, squirm and avoid graveyards!

Opera Theatre Company presents

Così Fan TutteCharming, witty and provocative, Così Fan Tutte is filled with beguiling arias and iconic ensembles, and explores the vagaries and vacillations of young love. In Mozart’s tale of temptation and seduction, two young men make the mistake of boasting about their perfect lovers. Don Alfonso spots a chance to make some money and claims that all women are fickle, wagering that these ‘constant fiancées’ can be easily seduced. In her Opera Theatre Company debut, Irish director Orpha Phelan directs a vocally luminous cast in Mozart’s sublime romantic comedy. Sung in English, the six piece Opera Theatre Company touring ensemble is conducted byAndrew Griffiths.‘Ireland’s premier purveyor of qualityoperatic productions.’ Opera Britannia

Three Sales Managers meet in their Sales Director’s office, ostensibly to meet their new Managing Director but, in fact, to meet their future. For some, that is more promising than for others.

Scorpion delivers a bang up to date commentary on the state of Ireland in the current climate.
